I've stopped cocaine and just wondering if my nose damage is to far gone to recover?

I've stopped cocaine and just wondering if my nose damage is to far gone to recover?

Is this the beginning of a hole in my nose? Can it still heal or am I screwed?

Video of the damage, how screwed am I?

Got a rhino rocket in this month at ER (the second time), and unlike the 48 wait the first time, it's more like 90 because the ENT can't see me until Monday. It's drying out - has anyone had luck with light saline spray? Can't get ahold of anyone and can't afford another ER visit.

I wasn't able to get any replies back yesterday from the ENT office, can't afford another run to ER, and getting slightly worried that when it's pulled out at this rate that it'll restart the bleed and we're back to square one. I was supposed to be getting my nose cauterized next time it came out, and if I have to have this for another few days I'm going to lose my mind. I saw a lot of recommendations online that a light saline spray is helpful just for the exterior a few times a day.

Current other issue is the antibiotics they gave me are causing diarrhea, so I'm dehydrated there but have been pounding hydration and electrolytes the last 48 hours and eating the BRAT diet which is slowly working. I'm worried it won't naturally re-hydrate the nostril in time.

Any experiences like this or ideas?
